u19 section 1

[OldMelburnian28]

Ok guys ready for a big round??? just like the tree said to the lumberjack "im stumped" on a few of these games. But here we go:
De La Salle by 60
Rupo by 10
Uni Blues by 22
Old Scotch by 27
Old Xavs by 34

Sorry 'StKevs Cowboy' just don't think you guys are "upto it" this year, lack depth and direction from experienced campaigners maybe?
Banyule wont be in the mix all year.
StBernards havn't proved themselves to me yet, sure they havn't lost a game, but beating mediocre sides wont get me on board. "talk to talk" now time to walk the walk.
Rupo are the dark horse, very new club to the vafa and are progressing astoundingly through the grades.
Relegation looks promising for collegians.

OM man signing off.

guys im a bernards senior boy, and to be honest we arent that good. im so over our coach, im thinking of hanging up my white boots. we dont have that many great players coming through in the 19s. good young blokes in the seniors but 19s arent for real. they think they are all that and a bowl of soup. enuough from all of you. Marcellin what ive seen are pretty boys, worry about their hair and money too much that their sausages have become hamburgers, if that makes sense. Rupertswood are going okay without being outstanding for their first year of section 1 but dont get your feral hopes up high. St KEvs pull your heads out of the mirror, you are similar to marcellin. As for Banyule, they can get eaten by bears for all i care. GO BERNARDS

As a seasoned campaigner for the woodsmen, i would just like to say that the hype is justified with a new look side and no huge loses from last year the boys are ready and raring to tear through the private school softys that seem to b plentiful in the under 19 section 1 comp!
with pressure from the reds from the likes of lovett, braddy and a huge performance on the weekend by timmy o'keafe the side is really starting to firm up!
they lacked in a pre-season due to their pitfull senior counterparts stranded in D1 however their natural skill and ability combined with match fitness is starting to shine through.
expect the ruppy boys to b strong contenders come the seasons end!
i would also like to comment on the poor form of quigley so far this year, perhaps a relagation to the reds for a few weeks will put the fire back in his belly and inspire a form turn around.

LOL, if they're soft how are they in section 1 continuously?

 

[m.diddy]

are you serious? does no one on this forum rubbish give marcellin a sniff at anything.. only won the 19s flag by 10 goals last year over a team that rupertswood beat by a point. if the seniors werent such a young team no other team in the 19's would get a sniff.

MAte you can't bring last year into it, u19 teams change so dramatically over a year, look at banyule.

 

[OldMelburnian28]

True milnedog, with senior promotion, imports/exports and injuries, referring to previous years is unreliable!!!
I don't want to hear about how good your side was in 1987, or how well fab gatti from marcellin is playing! And i definently don't want prity boys talking their own sides up on a forum! You are all lesser mortals!!!

agreed, but there is not a 100% turnover of players. as for banyule, they dominated section 2, so what? there is such a massive difference from section 2 to 1. all they had last year was a fat bloke sitting at full forward kicking bags and the likes of camberwell, carey, whitefriars etc were too scared to man up.
As for digger9, you sound like a battler, good for you champ.

1. exaggeration is hilarious.
2. who the hell is that.
3. good to see your education got you somewhere, and what are you doing on this forum, your u/19s side is hilarious and your 1's got beaten by a team who's average age is 20.

have a spell mate.

I can guarantee everyone on this forum that this person has no affiliation with the St.bernards Football club and whatever is said from this person on behalf of St.bernards should be ignored and treated as rubbish. digger9 go and cause your trouble somewhere else. noone on here will regard anything you say.

 

[johnfromtheVAFA]

johnny and oldmelb bloke, i dont understand why u dont rate bernards, maybe u should listen to my old mate freddy on what is happening down there at bernards. the bernards players tht r on the cannons list will never all play at once and even if they do, i can tell u it wouldnt really worry any1 down at bernards all tht much. the list at bernards is very strong and there is great competition within the club to get a game in the 19's.

why doesnt any1 really think tht they r a threat or a chance at success?

I never said i dont rate ttem, but i do believe that Foulds is a massive inclusion when he plays and aswell stapleton they give them some talls to aim for down forward and with them in the side takes some pressure off other key talls. They would be missed if they didnt play but i agree that they dont make the side they are a quality team foulds or not but i do think they boost their stocks dramatically when playing.

Any thoughts from anyone re Section2 . doesnt seem to be a thread for it.. would be interested on thoughts re teams, players, favorites etc.. seems to be a fairly even comp with some mixed results and upsets already.

Have a spell? not likely!
This forum needs more "individuals" like myself to tell players and teams how it is. And whilst your checking my spelling why don't you go over my grammer too???

I don't know who 'Digger 9' is but he has definently had some great input over time, is he just lying about who he is and information sources? or is he actually a senior st bernards player fed up with arrogant "up and comers". I feel his inside information in the past has been too credible to be labelled "irrelevant"
'Vafa6' i get the feeling your trying to cover up the true vibe down at the snakepit.

You want to see the true vibe down at the snakepit, your more than welcome to come dwon to training on any night and you will see that all digger9 talks is bulls**t, thanks

 

[linger_isgod]

Is the Stapleton playing for St. Bernards (and the Cannons??) the one who used to go to Xavier? Big forward type.

 

[big_bad_bustling_bazza]

well digger 9 u obviously havent done ur homework! cal potter a laughable suggestion they were elevated from section three to two by the likes of nath sullivan and peter barry! from 2 to 1 by the likes of the exact same players in the side this year maybe u need to question the pillow talk old benny carbanarro gives ya hey?

They lost a greater % of players to the seniors compared to most clubs.

 

[footy_nerd]

Big upset of the round seeing uni blues easily beat st bernards, so much for the views held by many on this forum that suggested that bernards would be a power house in section 1.

For mind rupertswood are easily holding their own agianst clubs who have been around a lot longer, have senior teams in a or b grade and have access to exceptional facilties provided by their affiliate schools. Massive win over marcellin by the woods men no doubt more improvement to come with some big inclsuions expected in the following weeks. Tragedy though with Beau Lovett from the 2nd side recovering from a hamstring strain in previous weeks sustaining a suspected broken foot. Had 5 up to quarter time with 8 marks and 10 possessions, before injurying himself early in the second quarter. Would of no doubt gained u19 1 selection and possibly senior selection in the comming weeks.

the ulers continue the season of disappointment and reignite the debate over a mid season relogation to u19 blue to maintain the intergrity of the section 1 league.

 

[oc37]

several u19-2 sides woudl be very competitive in section 1.. any of the current top four.,/.. issue of Banyule is that they have lost most of last eyars side.. The first few matches in u19 shodul be grading matches.. look at every grade and you will see the same issue as Banyule and it is such a fluid age group.

say three weeks grading.. play bottom four of previous year against top four of divison below, and take submissions.. also say St Bedes Mentone for example win a section 3 playoff by 100.. push them up two grades the next grading game..

IMO anyway.. while it woudl be difficult and controversial. it woudl lessen a lot of the heartache for sides liek Banyule, St LEos etc.. often sides in u19 do not even know who will be showing up the next seaosn when they are offered promotion

 

[johnfromtheVAFA]

Couldnt care less about section 2 and who you believe could possibly play sec 1. start your own thread and talk your 2nd grade rubbish there.

Well reigning premiers had a loss and look to be in a lull, the rupo boys are having some good results and a few out, trav smith witha stomach infection aka pussy stomach. Big tasks ahead of them still to play bernards and the great xavs, who i believe are going under the radar not much talk about them but are playing some sensational football.

I have to say that the supporters were feral with the effort put up by the marcilin boys, i saw some supporters tearing up the memberships and hurling abuse at the younsters as they came off the ground, just what they deserved and this could be a little wake up call for them. Thinking that they would waltz into another sec 1 granny isnt going to be the case. Bit of a kic up the bum from some boys who really want to play some footy and concentrate everything they have at the leather and have 22 players in the bus and not like marcilen who had 5 players carying the side to the ground on the we.

 

[OldMelburnian28]

Well it seems as though Stbernards are the Anthony Mundine of section one. Maybe instead of talking up your boys you should've been practicing to hit a target. Easy win for UB's with little to no pressure im told, and as expected rupo embarrass marcellin. Few clubs are showing the respect rupo deserve and marcellin payed the price on the weekend.

U/19 Red Section.

OX (2) - 17.6-108
Rupertswood (2) - 4.12-36

 

[Old Xaverian]

After read up on a few of your comments John I have to strongly agree with what your saying about the Rupo team. Having just played them this week in the reds (trying to come back from injury) I was also very impressed with the telent levels that where shown from there younger side. One stand for me the impressive yet explosive skill on the young Lovett such an impressive unit should push for selection if his form stay's up.

You also said that you also play for Xavs I would like to no who you played under as I have a rich family history at the club and would like to no if you played with my father.

When did they drop English as a subject at Xavier?

 

[Is that so]

When did they drop English as a subject at Xavier?

Could it have been when the spellchecker was invented , or the realisation that you can always have someone else do your typing, or if you stay focussed on the big picture you can employ people who love to focus on the small details!

 

[johnfromtheVAFA]

I lie i never played for xavs, i stuck to the links as a younster and was more worried about my drive then my kicking, my mum didnt want me playing contact sports. I just have an obsession with my xavs boys they are flying at the moment and just like to add that we are yet to play rupo and i am looking forward to that match as the rupo boys are on the up and should be an interesting battle.

 

[footy_nerd]

hey eddie wolescock, and all you other private school p o ofs who think it is their job to correct everyone elses grammar, get your head out the books and put it over the pill, since when did this become a thread about the particulars of the english language. Who cares where the apostrophes go, the most imprtant thing is that the sherrin flies through the big sticks on a saturday afternoon more times than the opposition. You private school toffs need to realise this, the sooner you do the more chances you have of getting a win on the board. Get the silver spoon out your proverbial and get focused on the footy.

On another note, a game that will ultimately decide the wooden spooner, the ulers take on collegians in what in my view is a game where there doesn't deserve to be a winner. Both clubs have seriously jepordised the intergrity of this years u19 competition by their insipid perfomances thus far and their respective clubs should be disappointed in the attitude they have demonstrated towards the u19 comp.
